Phantom Sensation (Burleson, TX)

Based out of Fort Worth, Texas, The Phantom Sensation (TPS) gives a new name to Folk-Punk music; “Blackgrass.” This unique genre is a blend between Twangy Folk and Punk/Rock music, often switching gears between traditional sounds and a more gritty feel. Their Southern Gothic narrative tells a dynamic story through a range of emotions and unique settings. Like the soundtrack to a B Horror Movie, TPS embraces “Campy” or “Cheesy” elements, but also thickens the plot by diving into the mindset of a serial killer in the song, “Sink or Swim”. They also get socio-political in the song “Another Body for the Fire,” that criticizes the witch-hunt mentality of modern day politics that should have stayed in Salem Village circa 1693.

Muddy Belle (Houston, TX)

I had the pleasure of sitting in on a recording session at Sugar Hill Studios with the multifaceted group known as Muddy Belle. With tunes that made my ears buzz and my head groove to the beat, this ensemble is sure to please with an upcoming release that will feature not only a horn section but a guest vocal track by none other than Kam Franklin of the Suffers. – Houston Press
